It's a myth. A childhood fantasy that it's time I give up on for more adult realities. It's a nice thought, but it's just an opiate. A white lie to convince me to behave myself all year so that I get rewarded in the end. I'll still pretend for the kids come the holidays, but in my heart of hearts, I know it will be a falsehood.
Half-Life 2 just won Game of the Decade on the VGAs and they didn't show or mention Half-Life 3. Not that Valve would normally cater to the VGAs, but when they were all there in attendance (15 members on stage, including Gabe Newell) and the topic of Half-Life 2 comes up and they don't even MENTION the sequel...
I can't do this anymore Valve... I just... can't...
I used to laugh at everyone else when they came to this realization, but it's finally hit home; Valve has broken my brain. They would have mentioned it, or implied that we should "look forward to more". They would have said something. They would have teased it if they had something. THEY WOULD HAVE TEASED IT IF THEY HAD SOMETHING!
This is good though... I should thank them... finally... I can finally move on with my life. I can get a job, friends, family... without the hope of a new Half-Life ever possible in the future... I'm finally free. A free...man...
THE ONE FREE MAN
I AM HALF-LIFE 3!!!!
It all makes so much sense now... HhahahaahHAHAHA
